Kay Flock has been sentenced to 30 years in jail. The Bronx rapper was found guilty in March on fees of racketeering conspiracy; tried homicide and assault with a lethal weapon in assist of racketeering; and possession of a firearm in relation to tried homicide and assault. Pitchfork has reached out to Kay Flock’s lawyer, Michael T. Ashley, for remark.
In a statement launched after Kay Flock’s sentencing, Jay Clayton, U.S. lawyer for the Southern District of New York, stated, “as we speak’s sentence brings New Yorkers what they need: violent, gun-toting gang leaders off our streets.”
Kay Flock, whose actual identify is Kevin Perez, was initially charged with first-degree homicide in December 2021—he was later discovered not responsible—and was ultimately named in a federal indictment on racketeering fees, which listed him as a member of the gang “Sev Aspect” or “DOA.” Forward of sentencing, the rapper’s attorneys claimed their consumer couldn’t be the gang’s chief because of his “mental incapacity,” a declare that U.S. District Decide Lewis J. Liman rejected.
A part of town’s burgeoning drill motion, Kay Flock made headway in 2021 together with his breakthrough single “Being Sincere” and debut mixtape, The D.O.A. Tape.
